Could not agree more with copp62, thanks for ruining vampire for so many people. Vampires should not be portayed as they are in the Twilight frachise. In fact, 30 Days of Night is one of the few movies that have potrayed vampires correctly for what they are.

Its not a vampire movie and the sooner horror fans realize that the better it means you can stop b****ing. Its a romance movie, the fact their are supernatural beings that are 'real' is a plot device. The mythology is completely different from standard vampires but they're vampires they live off blood thats about the only thing they have in common with the horror movie version.

Doing the movies back to back will keep the actors looking unaged since vampires don't age. If they have the right special effects coordinator and the budget for it this time it should be fine. Lord of the Rings was shot back to back and didn't suffer a lick from it.

I disagree. Stephenie Meyer is a fantastic author, she can portray vampires in any way she wants. Also, you can't portray vampires in a correct way, simply because they don't exist, and there are too many variations of vampires for one to be called correct. It's like saying that a monster has to look and act a certain way for it to be a monster, and that 'The Grudge' is the correctly portrayed monster, but 'Monsters Inc' portays them completly wrong and therefore ruins Monsters for so many people. Honestly MasterChief3784 and copp62, get a grip.

Twilight is a insult to vampire films.they are monsters they kill people for blood and fun.The 30 days of night vampiers are as close to as how they are ment to be.Bloodthirsty savages who kill without remorse.

YES!!! This book/movie series is NOT based off of, well, really any of the vampire mythologies. Or at least not in several senses. The books and the movies are TEEN ANGST!!! GET OVER IT!!! If you don't like it, don't watch it! I recognise the fact that the entire storyline is basically an excuse to delve into the melodromatic teen obsession with imposible love. That's fine. I ENJOY it! I find it amusing and sometimes, yes, rather sweet! I like the characters. And I reccognise that these are not based on the "reality" of vampires. That's okay. I enjoy the classic horror vampires as well. This doesn't mean I'm betraying the old school vampires. It means I'm willing to read/watch whatever interests me. I don't limit myself. Someone decided to change the story. That's okay. I was just pleased that what changes were implemented from book to movie made sense. If you don't like the acting, that's fine, if you find gaping plot holes, that's fine, if you think the effects were crap, that's fine. Please, commence ranting. But realize that some people do enjoy the movie/book. And realize, as bad as the books can be, like Harry Potter, they are getting the younger generation to READ! That...I think is a good thing. I, for one, will see the next movie, and prolly see this one again. Cope.

Its funny how mad people get when they acted like they own the vampire image. Yes this movie did not portray how the original vampire should be. Overall You still got to give credit to how they made vampires and high school kids co-exist. This is one reason why the movie made so much money. It targets our youth who can relate to it. Hate it or love it, you just got to give credit where credit is due.

I wouldn't go as far as to say stephanie meyer is a fantastic author...but I will stand behind the thought that she can portray her vampires any way she wishes. All preconcieved notions do is ruin what could otherwise be a good time. Let go of what you think you know, and just enjoy things.
